And then you are out of town for a change, and hit with a different price. Go on a road trip, visit your autie three states over, and get his with seven different levels of taxation on the way.
Wouldn't it be easier and honest to just put the real prices on the shelves? Just like any other country does?
Where do the 7 random taxations come from? They basically have the same taxes depends how far you travel but its mainly the value that changes and even that by a couple percent more or less. Oh no I thought this item will be $1.58 more expensive than I thought oh no this will encouraged me to hate the tax system and become so angry that I have to constantly shoot up schools and kill myself to cope. I'm honest to god there are real problems in this country right now and that is not really one of them.
I agree that this is not the most pressing problem, indeed. But it is an artificial problem that could easily be solved by just putting the actual price on the tag instead of letting people do the calculation.
